A millennium is a thousand years.I realized your problem, you are amillennial or post-millennial.
I think that it's almost impossible to interpret many prophecies before they are fulfilled. Look at the Jews at Jesus' time; they did not interpret the Old Testament correctly, for example, attributing Isaiah 53 to someone different from the Messiah. Now, we know they were wrong because Jesus fulfilled it. Perhaps, we can wait to find out how it turns out instead of trying to figure it out now.Define four kingdoms theology please. The book of Daniel and history clearly Defend what I said.
Then, why are there so many different ideas about the interpretation of prophecies, CoreIssue?when it hasn't happened yet, no problem figuring it out.
I was taught that there are five major interpretations of the Book of Revelation alone. All of them seemed to be possible; I settled on one, but they all had problems.when it hasn't happened yet, no problem figuring it out.
Well, isn't your set of beliefs about the last times "only in your opinion" about piecing together the various passages you way?only in your opinion.
But the EU has more than 10 countries. How can that be?Those who reject the EU as the 10 toes have no answer to these facts.
Yes, I agree that the passage might be the 10 parts of the former Roman Empire, but to equate it with the present EU seems to be a big stretch. Maybe, the prophecy has now been fulfilled, because those 10 parts as such are no more. Isn't that a possibility?look at the maps, etc. Rome broke into 10 empires. all now parts of the EU. IT will be unified.
because people reject literal statements. they do not want to believe.Then, why are there so many different ideas about the interpretation of prophecies, CoreIssue?when it hasn't happened yet, no problem figuring it out.
Show me the passages in the two books.revelation and Daniel says it has not.
My answer as an Amilleniallist is that it takes a giant leap of logic to connect the EU with the ten toes. Ten is a complete number; perhaps, the "beast" hasn't appeared yet. I don't know.Those who reject the EU as the 10 toes have no answer to these facts.
it says 10 nations
Yeah, anything's possible in prophecy, but I'm not going worry about it. I'll just wait to see how it all turns out.it says 10 nations
